The Earth's oceans are experiencing record-breaking heat, absorbing over 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This stored energy is now being released back into the atmosphere, contributing to extreme weather events like heatwaves in Europe and the US. A strengthening El Niño phenomenon is a primary mechanism for this heat transfer, with significant implications for global weather patterns, including increased chances of drought and heavy rainfall in various regions.
